Reviewer Type: Extended Group

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The staff decorated the room for us as we came for a hen due and they did a phenomenal job. So communicative, super helpful and just 5 starts for how helpful they were. The breakfast is really good and I was happy with the selection. It was pretty crowded and a popular hotel. I would say it’s the most affordable and modern hotels in Oban so I can see why everyone was there

Negative: The shower does pool but that’s an easy fix. Wifi was pretty awful so if they fixed that it would really be 100% great stay.

Summary: Amazing staff!! Clean and Great Breakfast but wifi needs an upgrade
